Dark Universe?

So like has there been any updates? I haven’t heard anything recently

Latest updates:
17 January - Bill Condon gathering a crew and "Bride of Frankenstein" is ready to go. They don't give a shit abut Angelina Jolie anymore, looking for new bride. Javier is still interested in role of Frankenstein.
"Invisible Man" is looking for a new writer.
"The Mummy" has been nominated to golden Razzies in many categories, which ironically gave a movie second life as people are watching it out of curiosity.
That's all I know.

>e a shit abut Angelina Jolie anymore, looking for new bride.
Antje Traue would be nice.

>"The Mummy" has been nominated to golden Razzies in many categories
Such fucking bullshit, at the very fucking worst it's a mediocre movie, not even remotely "worst of year" category.

move on you pathetic fuck

That's not what the razzies are though.

Razzies are worthless now.
They just picked 5 same movies that are cool to hate.
Mummy, Transformers, Fiifty Shades, Baywatch and something.
Even by going with damn RT scores they were not the worst. Flatliners, Snowman and Geostorm are all rated lower than Mummy. None of them got a single nominated. Mummy got
>worst actor Tom Cruise
>supporting actress Sofia Boutella
>supporting actor Russell Crowe
>worst screenplay
>worst remake reboot etc
>worst director
>worst movie
They went all the way. Lazy razzies.

>let's reboot our classic monster movie franchises
>except let's make them big budget action movies focused on a "relatable" human proxy character instead of creepy monster movies focused on the monster

Is there a maximum allowable IQ to be allowed to be a hollywood film producer or something?

>not even remotely "worst of year" category.

It was pretty awful

I want my Dr Jekyll kino

I think it's still going.
As anons said, Bride is on way, invisible man too
There are few games released and both websites are up and running. Dark Universe and VR 360 degree trip to Prodigium
Ahmanet got 2 Funko POP figures, as a princess and as mummy.

I think they put too much into this to give up. They didn't give up after Van Helsing and Dracula Untold flops, so why should when Mummy made 400m?

>The Dark Universe's architects have abandoned the project

I figured it was straight up cancelled after that point.

I actually find it funny that Mother goy a nomination since literally every single critic called it the best movie ever made. How the hell did that happen? Did they do a 360 on the movie because the public hated it?

B-b-b-b-b-but muh Mummy waifu! I NEED to spam a thread every day to remind Sup Forums of my shitty waifu who can’t act from my shitty movie no one liked!

Come on anons.. how come on anons.. how have you not heard?www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2017/11/8/16610248/universal-dark-universe-monsterverse-alex-kurtzman-chris-morgan

it was just a prank bro

The man in charge of the Dark Universe (the same man who wrote Transformers Revenger of the Fallen and Amazing Spider-Man 2) abandoned the universe. They are still trying to make Bride of Frankenstein (because Grrl Power and Sex Appeal). Bride is their biggest focus. And they are considering Gal Gabot. Everything else is up in the air.

Who's even going to be the big bad the monsters eventually team up to defeat? What's the payoff supposed to be?

They should just sell the monsters to Disney.

>IN A WORLD
>Welcome to the jungle starts playing
>WHERE THE MIGHTY CTHULU HAS AT LAST AWAKENED
>*ear shattering fart noise*
>Tom Cruise looks out the window and sees cthulu lumbering across the city
>He has a flashback to Russell Crowe saying (this was 15 minutes earlier in the movie), "If you gaze upon the cthulu you will be stricken instantly by complete insanity!"
>AHHHHH! I AM GOING INSANE!
>Cruise runs out into the city naked, screaming, his descent into the depths of insanity just beginning
>2 hours and 45 minutes of cthulu destroying a city with brief checkups on the status of Tom's character until madness utterly consumes him
>Tom Cruise sacrifices himself to Cthulu but fights his influence and absorbs his power
>Tom Cruise becomes the new Cthulu
>We May have to call upon him for new adventures

Rumors say they are still trying to make a new Bride of Frankenstein a thing. Probably won’t be attached to Dark Universe.

Universal guys said that "teaming up in Avengers style" isn't their goal

I'd think that doing a House of Dracula remake probably would of worked.

>would of

They gave up on the monster avengers after Dracula Untold. They changed focus to do something different.

Universal is literally retarded.
Pacific Rim getting a sequel, even tho it made similar money as Mummy. They had similar budgets too.
Both made around 410m worldwide, with only 100m domestic.
If that was enough to make Pacific Rim 2, then I wouldn't be surprised to see continuation to Mummy.

Pacific Rim was critically received well, Mum was not.

Universal doesn't care. They shit out Fifty Shades, even tho they are regularly smashed by critics.
1999 Brendan Mummy was also criticized. It was before RT era, but it was also hated, one guy even called it the worst movie of year or decade. Now it's liked.
Scorpion king spinoffs were fucking hated, but they made 3 or 4 of them.

no one gets a job in Hollywood based on actual talent or merit, it's all on how much and how well you can kiss ass and how well you can deflect blame to others when you do fuck up
